I'm all for a bit of blatant self-promotion so I submitted my blog address somewhere around the end of January and just carried on spewing out the crap writing the random posts that you keep returning to read.

Imagine my surprise when I checked the list this month and found myself as a NEW ENTRY at number 44!!!

YIPPEE!!!

(*cue canned applause*)

I know this doesn't mean a lot to you as a reader but, for me, it validates a great deal about what I write, who reads it and everything else in between. It also clears up a few doubts I've had over the past week about taking on too much with work, studying, family stuff and writing.

So that it, basically! I write, you read. All I ask of you is to keep reading and, if you like what you are reading, Tweet the link, share it on Facebook, email it to your friends, Stumble it, Digg it... (using the share facility at the bottom of each post is the easiest way) and keep returning for more. And thanks for taking the time out of your day to read these posts *gushy moment over now* Also, check out the other blogs on the top 100 list - there's some amazing people out there.
